Model SCM overview

• The SpacePak Model SCM heat pump is a self contained reverse-cycle heat pump that provides a continuous supply of heated or chilled water for various purposes, such as: residential or small commercial building heating and cooling; and specialty applications, such as computer room cooling or industrial/agricultural conditioning and dehumidification.
• Model SCM heat pumps are available in three- and five-ton nominal capacities. Both use the same general design and operating principals.
• Each heat pump contains TWO isolated refrigeration systems of equal size to cool or heat the delivered water supply. The two systems can operate individually or in tandem to achieve 50% or 100% capacity. The major components of each system are:
• A hermetically sealed refrigeration compressor & motor.
• An outside coil to reject heat (in cooling) or absorb heat (in heating) from the surrounding ambient air.
• A fan and motor to force air over the outside coil.
• A shell-and-tube refrigerant-to-water heat exchanger to ab-sorb heat (in cooling) or supply heat (in heating) to the deliv-ered water flow.
• An electronic expansion valve to throttle the refrigerant flow in both heating and cooling modes of operation, responding to varying load on the system.
• A reversing valve (to select between heating and cooling operation).
• Sensors and safety circuits to monitor and protect the equipment from potentially damaging or dangerous operating conditions.
• A single water circuit connects both internal heat exchangers, and contains sensors to measure entering and leaving water temperatures. A mechanical flow switch safety ensures continuous water flow while either of the two refrigerant systems is operating. All components are contained within a supporting structure and enclosure sufficient to allow stand-alone outdoor installation in all temperate climates.
• All operation and protections are managed by a microprocessor controller which operates the individual systems, determines all operating parameters, and monitors the condition of each system. A simple interface communicates with the indoor air handler, heat exchanger, or other load.
• Failure to comply with all of the guidelines BELOW could result in death, serious injury or substantial property damage.

Codes and electrical requirements

• This product must be installed in accordance with all applicable codes. Where instructions in this manual differ from specific local requirements, defer to the local codes.
• The electrical installation must also comply with the latest edition of: in the U. S. — National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70; in Canada — CSA C22.1 Canadian Electrical Code Part 1. Wiring must be N.E.C. Class 1. Use only copper wire, rated for 120°F and sized for the load listed in this manual.
• Electrical shock hazard — Disconnect all electrical power before servicing the unit. Also, the unit must be grounded in accordance with the Electrical Code listed above.

Refrigerant

• The refrigeration system is factory charged with R410A refrigerant, and requires no additional service during installation. Any repair, diagnosis or maintenance service to the refrigeration system must be performed by a qualified technician. No alternate refrigerants, lubricants or additives are approved for this unit. Any use of alternate or non-approved materials in the refrigeration system may result in personal injury or equipment damage, and will void the manufacturer’s warranty.

Liquid side

• The fluid in the liquid side of the Model SCM must be an anti-freeze/water mix.
• The antifreeze percentage must be at least 10%. Follow guidelines in this manual to find the required antifreeze mix for the application. Thoroughly flush the system before filling.
• The system must be supplied with a pump sized to provide the minimum flow rates specified in this manual. Pump selection must consider the pressure loss through the system and its components plus the pressure loss through the SCM’s heat exchanger and internal components. The pump must be rated for use with chilled water/glycol mixture.
• Install a y-strainer at the liquid input of the heat pump as shown in this manual to prevent damage to the heat exchanger from sediment.
• DO NOT use for potable water heating. The single-wall heat exchanger is not suitable for the application.

Ambient limits

• See information in this manual for heating and cooling performance versus ambient temperature.
• For applications requiring cooling at outdoor temperatures below 55°F, contact SpacePak Technical Support for assistance.
• DO NOT disconnect power in cold temperatures. Power must be on to allow the anti-freeze cycle to operate.

SCM controller

• The SCM controller provides adjustability of various operating parameters to address specific applications. See Section 2 for detailed instructions to adjust these parameters.

• If the fan control logic, parameter F02, is set to 02, the fans will shut off if the outside coil surface temperature (as read by sensors b03 & b07, whichever is greater) falls to the value established by parameter F05 (75°F, factory default) and remain off until the coil surface temperature rises above F05 plus F06 (75°F + 10°F=85°F, factory default) when the fans will turn on again.
• If the cooling compensation constant, parameter r17, is set to a value other than zero, the water temperature setpoint will be the value established by parameter r01, (42°F factory default) until the outdoor ambient temperature rises to the value of parameter r19 (85°F factory default). Then, as the outdoor temperature continues to increase, the water temperature setpoint will change (increase if r17 is greater than zero, decrease if r17 is less than zero) by the ratio of change in water temperature setpoint to change in ambient temp. For example, if r17 is set to a value of -.5, the setpoint will decrease by 0.5°F for every 1.0°F increase in outdoor ambient temperature. This will continue, until the difference between the new setpoint and the original setpoints matches the value established by parameter r18 (8.0°F factory default), So the final setpoint (42°F – 8°F=34°F factory default) will remain fixed even if the ambient temperature continues to rise.
• If r17 is set to zero, the water temperature setpoint will remain fixed at the value established by parameter r01 through the entire range of cooling operation.
• If the heating compensation constant, parameter r31, is set to a value other than zero, the water temperature setpoint will be the value established by parameter r03, (120°F factory default) until the outdoor ambient temperature falls to the value of parameter r20 (30°F factory default). Then, as the outdoor temperature continues to fall, the water temperature setpoint will change (decrease if r31 is greater than zero, increase if r31 is less than zero) by the ratio of change in water temperature setpoint to change in ambient temp. For example, if r31 is set to a value of -.5, the setpoint will increase by 0.5°F for every 1.0°F decrease in outdoor ambient temperature. This will continue, until the difference between the new setpoint and the original setpoints matches the value established by parameter r18 (8.0°F factory default), So the final setpoint (120°F + 8°F=128°F factory default) will remain fixed even if the ambient temperature continues to fall.
• If r31 is set to zero, the water temperature setpoint will remain fixed at the value established by parameter r03 through the entire range of heating operation.

Location & Mounting

• Failure to comply with all of the guidelines IN THE FOLLOWING could result in death, serious injury or substantial property damage.
• The installation must comply with all applicable local codes.

Prepare the unit

• Inspect the unit for shipping damage. DO NOT use if there is a risk that the damage could affect unit operation.
• Make sure all required components are available.
• Install optional immersion heater, if used. See instructions provided with the heater.

Location

• DO NOT locate where the unit could be sprayed by sprinklers.
• DO NOT locate near swimming pools, spas or any location that could cause chlorine or other contaminant to enter the unit.
• DO NOT locate where water run-off from adjacent structures could impinge on the unit.
• Maintain the clearances shown in Figure 10.
• LOW AMBIENT conditions — Contact SpacePak Technical Support to obtain low ambient adjustment instructions if cooling operation below 55°F is required.
• CORROSIVE ENVIRONMENTS — Do not install the unit in an area subject to sea air or other potential corrosive contaminants.
• INDOOR INSTALLATION — If the unit is installed inside a building, the building must be equipped with air openings sufficient to ensure free discharge of heated (or cooled) air generated by the heat pump. All clearances must be maintained to ensure free airflow into and out of the enclosure. Make sure no other equipment located in the space will be affected by the unit’s airflow.

Handling

• Remember to check the CV rating of your fittings and valves to make sure your getting the correct flow through the equipment.

Glycol/Water System Design

• Each SCM Heat Pump has a recommended flow that should be maintained during all times of operation. For the SCM-060, the recommended flow is 12 GPM, at which the head loss is 24.2 ft. WC, 10.4 PSI or 72 kPa. These head loss values are based upon pure water, see Figure 12 for multipliers to correct for various concentrations of anti-freeze solution.
• Note: these are the recommended flow values. Should the flow drop significantly below this value, the heat pump will shut down and display the code FL on the display. This is not an indication of a fault in the heat pump, but rather points to insufficient pump or plumbing capacity, or air trapped within the system.

System Volume and Expansion Volume

• To ensure smooth temperature control and minimize cycling of refrigeration system, all installations must have total circulating volumes equal to or greater than 7-1/2 gallons per nominal ton of the unit performance (The greater of either heating or cooling produced). In other words, in the case of a four ton heat pump the minimum total system volume is 4×7-1/2=30 gallons. Multiple heat pump installations that are operating in a staged configuration follow the same rule, so that only a single heat pump tonnage needs to be considered. Additionally, the system requires an expansion volume (air) to compensate for the change in volume of the glycol mixture as it heats and cools, see Figure 12 for expansion volume.
• A typical multiple heat pump installation may actually have a volume far greater than the minimum required, and it is this entire volume that must be considered when sizing the expansion tank.
• Note that the nominal expansion tank volume is not the same as the expansion volume. If the actual air volume is not published, consider it to be no more than half the nominal volume.
• As an example, a four ton nominal heat pump, used for both heating and cooling, requires a minimum of thirty gallons of circulated system volume. A 40 gallon buffer tank is selected for best operation. When the system installation is complete, the total liquid volume of plumbing, air handlers, and heat pump is 45 gallons. (Note the expansion tank, no matter how large, is not considered circulated volume) This requires an acceptance volume of 3 gallons. If the acceptance volume is not specified, assume it is 50% of the total volume. Therefore, this system would require an expansion tank of 3 gallons acceptance volume, or six gallons nominal full volume.

Air Separator

• Locate at least one high efficiency air separator as shown in the piping to remove any air from the system.

Glycol / Water Mixture

• The water system must contain a mixture of inhibited glycol and water with thermal protection sufficient for the coldest expected temperature for the installation. The inhibitor level can degrade over time, and may need to be adjusted periodically. The inhibitor is essential to prevent the glycol from accelerating corrosion of metal components in the system. The glycol and inhibitor levels must be checked regularly (no less than once annually).
• The minimum allowable concentration of glycol is 10% by volume in all installations.
• Automotive glycol is not suitable for use in the LAHP system. Over time it may leave deposits which will degrade the performance and damage pumps or other devices in the system. Use only ethylene glycol or propylene glycol mixtures specifically labeled for boiler or HVAC use.

Glycol/Water System Installation

• Obtain all components specified in Figure 11. Make sure all components and piping comply with applicable local codes.
• DO NOT use galvanized pipe anywhere in the system. Galvanizing will react with the glycol and can cause glycol degradation and sludge in the system.
• Confirm charge of expansion tank is 12-15 PSIG (with no water or pressure in the system).
• Install the system piping. DO NOT connect the SpacePak unit to the system piping until the system has been cleaned as required below.

The SCM must NOT be connected to the system during this process

1. Connect a hose from a fresh water supply to the system fill hose bib. Note the drain port can be used for this purpose. The hose bib purge/drain valve should be located low in the system and close to the SCM return connection.
2. Open the high point purge valve, (not shown in illustration, as it may be inside the air handler) while slowly filling the system. Close the valve when air is removed from the system and water begins to flow out of the valve.
3. Fill the system with fresh water and run water until the system has been thoroughly flushed clean.

Automatic Fill – When an automatic fill system is installed, the cooling fluid (Glycol/water) must be inspected at least every 3 months, or whenever a leak is detected to ensure the proper glycol concentration is maintained.

Pressure Test The System

1. Add water to the system as needed to raise the pressure to 25 PSIG (verify that all system components are suitable for this pressure). Verify that the pressure remains constant for at least one hour. Locate and correct any leaks.
2. After successfully testing, drain the system and remove the fresh water hose.

Insulate The Piping

1. After testing and draining the system, apply pipe insulation. Fill system with glycol/water mixture. Calculate the system volume.
2. See Figure 12, for required glycol concentration for the mini-mum expected outside temperature.
3. Obtain the required volume inhibited glycol/water solution premixed or mix in a clean container. (The glycol must contain an inhibitor to prevent metal corrosion.)
4. Pump the glycol/water solution into the system, allowing air to escape through the purge valve(s).
5. After filling the system, sample the system fluid and verify glycol and inhibitor percentages, following instructions provided with the glycol.

• The electrical loads given in Figure 1, allow for a pump load of no more than 5 amps at 110 VAC (2.5 amps at 230 VAC). If the pump load exceeds this, provide a separate power source to the pump. DO NOT feed power to the pump from the SpacePak air handler panel.
• Provide a separate power source and overcurrent protection for the immersion heater. Refer to the Figures 18 and 19 of this manual for detailed wiring.

SCM Control Wiring Connection

• The SpacePak SCM requires a dry contact (relay) signal to enable and select between heating and cooling modes. They will not operate on the 24V signals from typical thermostats or air handlers. Connecting 24V to either of these points will result in erratic operation and may cause significant component damage.
• Connect single zone systems to heat pump as shown in Figure 16.
• Connect multiple zone system to heat pump using SpacePak SSIC Control Module and instructions included with it. Refer to manual supplied with SSIC Control Module for connection and operational details.
• See Figure 19, for heat pump electrical ladder diagram. Section 9: Electrical Diagrams.

Low Ambient Temperature Cooling Operation

• If cooling operation is desired in a year-round application, or any time outdoor temperatures are expected to be consistently below 55˚F, the fan operation should be modified in order to ensure proper operating conditions within the refrigeration system.
• Refer to Section 2, Fig. 3, for instructions.
• Note once implemented, this will cause the fans to start and stop periodically during operation. This is normal behavior during cooler outdoor temperatures and should not be a concern.
• See the above illustration; note this is not intended to include all components in the system, just the minimum to properly purge air from the heat pump.

1. With the heat pump isolated and dry, valves A & B closed, charge the “system”(that is, all the plumbing not shown), and remove as much air as possible through the air separator.
2. Apply a static pressure to the system, with all pumps off, of 15- 25 PSI.
3. Very gradually open the lower ball valve, B, to allow water un-der pressure to begin to fill the heat pump from the bottom.
4. Crack the manual vent valve until you hear air escaping.
5. Allow the water to continue to fill the heat pump, displacing air. This should go very slowly, and could take a minute or more.
6. When all the air has been displaced and a steady stream of water is flowing out of the vent valve, fully open ball valve B.
7. Open ball valve A, a small amount of air might escape the vent valve from the heat pump supply line.
8. When all the air has escaped, close the vent valve.
9. Note, this procedure fills the heat pumps in the opposite direction of normal flow, so it must be done when all pumps are off.

BEFORE starting the unit

Electrical shock hazard — Disconnect all electrical power before proceeding with the following.

1. Verify that the system and all components have been in-stalled in accordance with this manual and all applicable codes and instructions.
2. Inspect the SpacePak heat pump and all other system com-ponents. All components should be in good condition and operational.
3. Inspect the water piping for any signs of leakage.
   • WARNING: Repair all system leaks. Leakage will cause pressure to drop, preventing the heat pump from operating. Leaks also allow introduction of excess make-up water, whether filled automatically or manually.
4. Check system pressure. The pressure should be at least 15 PSIG with heat pump not in operation.
5. Check all wiring connections to ensure terminal connections are tight and all wiring is in place.

Start the SpacePak heat pump

Start in cooling mode.

1. Apply power to the unit
2. The display (Figure 1) should show the start sequence —uC2, then 2.0, then the current water temperature. No other symbol should appear.
3. When the display shows only temperature, lower the thermostat setpoint below the current room temperature.
4. This begins a call for cooling, and the pump symbol will begin to flash.
5.  After 1 to 2 minutes, the pump symbol will change to constant display, and the pump will begin circulating.
6. Assuming the water is outside of the cooling temperature range (above 42°) the refrigeration system will initiate and the 1, or 3, or both numerals will begin flashing.
7. After 1 to 2 minutes, the 1, or 3, or both numerals will change to constant, the compressor symbol will turn on and one or both compressors will start.
8. Observe for any alarms, errors, or faulty operation (noises, vibration, etc)
9. When operation is deemed satisfactory, raise the thermostat set-point or turn it off.
10. The pump will run for approximately two minutes after the compressor shutdown.

Start in heating mode.

1. When the pump has stopped, change the thermostat to Heat-ing (if applicable) and raise the set point above current room temperature.
2. This initiates a call in Heating mode. The pump symbol will begin flashing.
3. After 1 to 2 minutes, the pump symbol will change to constant display, and the pump will begin circulating.
4. Assuming the water is outside of the heating temperature range (below 120°) the refrigeration system will initiate and the 1, or 3, or both numerals will begin flashing.
5. After 1 to 2 minutes, the 1, or 3, or both numerals will change to constant, the compressor symbol will turn on and one or both compressors will start.
6. Observe for any alarms, errors, or faulty operation (noises, vibration, etc).

Anti-freeze cycle

1. Should the water temperature drop to 34°F during periods of non-use, the pump will start and the antifreeze heater (if connected) will energize and continue to operate until the temperature reaches 38°F.
2. If the water temperature continues to fall and reaches 33°F, the Alarm symbol and Fault Code AL will be displayed, and the unit will automatically start in heating mode. It will continue to run until the water temperature reaches 38°F.
3. NOTE: This provides the maximum level of protection in all cases, but may use energy unnecessarily when a suitable concentration of glycol anti-freeze is installed. When freeze protection is sufficient, these value can be adjusted to lower temperatures. Contact technical support for guidance in re-configuring these parameters, however it must be understood that the installer is responsible for ensuring sufficient freeze protection to the lowest temperature allowed.

24-Hour follow-up

Approximately 24 hours after start-up and testing, return to the installation to verify proper operation. Perform the following checks.

1. Check system pressure. Add additional glycol/water mixture if needed to restore pressure. (Pressure can drop as air is removed from the system by the air vents.)
2. Sample the glycol/water mixture in the system. Verify inhibitor and glycol levels.
3. Inspect the piping and components to ensure there are no leaks. Repair any leaks immediately.
4. Close the isolation valves on either side of the y-strainer at the SpacePak heat pump return connection. Remove the screen and inspect for sediment. Clean if necessary.
   • If the strainer has become clogged with sediment, determine whether the system needs to be drained, cleaned and re-filled. Excessive sediment accumulation in the strainer will reduce flow and cause the unit to shut down.
5. Cycle the system on heating and cooling. Verify that all components operate correctly.

Electric Heat

• The SCM series heat pumps are equipped with integral 3 kW electric heater elements contained within the water circuit. These are powered by a 230VAC input (separate from the heat pump power) and must have individual protection, (minimum 15A)
• The heater function is managed by the Carel μC2 controller, and it provides three different functions, all of which are adjustable via the Display Keypad.
• A. Freeze protection: When the heat pump is in standby, it monitors the temperature of the water circuit. If the temperature falls below the value of parameter A04, the controller will start the circulator, and send a call for the heaters to energize. The heaters are powered through a Time Delay Relay (TDR), to ensure flow is established before the heaters come on. Parameter A05 is a differential value, such that the heaters will shut off when the temperature reaches A04 + A05.
• B. Heat boost: When the heat pump is operating in heating mode, the Carel controller will call for the heater to be energized when the water temperature falls below the value of parameter A08, again controlled by the TDR. Parameter A09 is a differential value, such that the heaters will shut off when the temperature reaches A08 + A09.
• C. Defrost operation: When enabled, via parameter d11 being set to a value of 01, the controller will call for the heater to energize, after the TDR duration, whenever the defrost cycle is active.

Time Delay Relay

• In all instances, the heaters receive power only after a time interval, controlled by the TDR. See Figure 15. The TDR can be adjusted to provide a delay from .01 second, to 100 hours. This is accomplished by two dials on the face of the components. The lower dial establishes the range, in increments of 0.1 second, 1 second, 6 seconds, 60 seconds, 0.1 hour, 1 hour, and 10 hours. The upper dial is the multiplier, and increased the range from 1 to 10 times. The factory default is 10 minutes as shown in the figure; the range is 60 seconds, and the multiplier is 10. This may be excessively long for most applications, and may be adjusted to a shorter interval, especially if it is primarily used for defrost operation.
• When the TDR receives a signal from the controller, the Coil LED will begin to flash, and continue for the duration of the time delay. Once the delay has expired, the Coil LED will change to solid, and the Contact LED will illuminate also. When the signal is removed from the TDR, the contact will open immediately.

Protection

• The heater circuit must first prove water flow before energizing the heaters, and maintain a circuit through an overtemp protection device (located within the heater element) which opens at 201°F. Should either of these conditions fail, the heaters will immediately de-energize.

Heater Capacity

• The internal circuit and switching is sufficiently robust to carry the load of the 3kW internal heater, or the (2) 3kW heaters within the available BT-H series buffer tanks, but it cannot power all three heaters. Therefore, the internal heater must be disconnected from power when connecting buffer tank heaters.

Electrical Connections

• The electrical installation must comply with the latest edition of: in the U.S. — National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70; in Canada — CSA C22.1 Canadian Electrical Code Part 1. Wiring must be N.E.C. Class 1. Use only copper wire, rated for 120°F and sized for the load listed in this manual.
• Electrical shock hazard — Disconnect all electrical power before servicing the unit. Also, the unit must be grounded in accordance with the Electrical Code listed above.

Overcurrent protection & wire sizing

• Protect each circuit with a breaker or fuse rated for the load given in Figure 1.
• The electrical loads given in Figure 1, page 3 allow for a pump load of no more than 5 amps at 110 VAC (2.5 amps at 230 VAC). If the pump load exceeds this, provide a separate power source to the pump. DO NOT feed power to the pump from the SpacePak air handler panel.
• Provide a separate power source and overcurrent protection for the immersion heater. Refer to the Figures 18 and 19 of this manual for detailed wiring.

SpacePak heat pump wiring

• The SpacePak SCM heat pumps require a dry contact (relay) signal to enable and select between heating and cooling modes. They will not operate on the 24V signals from typical thermostats or air handlers. Connecting 24V to either of these points will result in erratic operation and may cause significant component damage.
• Connect single air handler to heat pump as shown in Figure 16.
• Connect multiple air handlers to heat pump via SpacePak heat pump Interface Module as shown in Figure 17.
• See Figure 19, for heat pump electrical ladder dia-gram.

Multiple air handler applications

• For multiple air handler applications, provide a zone valve or pump to control water the flow to the air handler.
• When the zone thermostat activates the SCM, the valve will be activated by the SpacePak air handler.
• The total zone control load must not exceed 20 VA at 24 VAC. If a larger valve or zone pump is used, it must be switched by a power relay controlled from the 24 VAC output of the air handler.
• Refer to manual supplied with SSIC module for connection and operational details.

Annual Maintenance

Perform Annual Inspection Glycol/water mixture

• The water system must contain a mixture of inhibited glycol and water with thermal protection sufficient for the coldest expected temperature for the installation. The inhibitor level can degrade over time, and may need to be adjusted periodically. The inhibitor is essential to prevent the glycol from accelerating corrosion of metal components in the system. The glycol and inhibitor levels must be checked regularly (no less than once annually).
• The minimum allowable concentration of glycol is 10% by volume in all installations.
• Automotive glycol is not suitable for use in the heat pump system. Over time it may leave deposits which will degrade heat pump performance and damage pumps or other devices in the system.
• Use only ethylene glycol or propylene clycol mixtures specifically labeled for boiler or hvac use.

1. At least once annually, sample the system fluid to verify that the glycol concentrations meets the minimum value given in Figure 12. Also test the inhibitor concentration. Add glycol and inhibitor as needed to return the system to the correct concentrations.
2. Perform any and all other tests as recommended by the anti-freeze manufacturer’s instructions in order to ensure optimal performance and maintain warranty protection on all installed components.

Check operating pressure

1. Check the glycol/water system pressure. Operating pressure should be between 15 and 25 PSIG. Adjust fluid volume if needed to restore pressure.
2. If pressure is low, check system for evidence of leaks. Repair all leaks immediately.

Perform annual inspection

Electrical shock hazard — Disconnect all electrical power before proceeding with the following.

1. At least once annually, perform a complete inspection of the system, including at least the following.
2. Inspect the SCM for signs of dirt or debris accumulation. Re-move any debris and notify the building owner that the unit must be kept clean and unobstructed.
3. Inspect glycol/water system piping and components. Repair or replace any defective components. Repair all leaks immediately.
4. Close the isolation valves on either side of the y-strainer at the SpacePak heat pump return connection. Remove the screen and inspect for sediment. Clean if necessary.
   • If the strainer has become clogged with sediment, determine whether the system needs to be drained, cleaned and re-filled. Excessive sediment accumulation in the strainer will reduce flow and cause the unit to shut down.
5. Inspect all wiring and wiring connections. Tighten connec-tions if needed. Correct any problems found.
6. Check the fuses or breakers to ensure they are correctly sized and properly installed.
7. Clean the SCM heat exchangers and air openings.
8. Cycle the system on heating and cooling. Verify that all com-ponents operate correctly.

Preparing the SCM for shut down

• DO NOT turn off power to the SCM heat pump in the winter or any time when there is a possibility of freezing. Power must be ON for the automatic anti-freeze operation to occur. See information below for preparing the unit for shut down.

1. When the water temperature drops below 34°F during periods of non-use, the pump will start and the antifreeze heater (optional, when installed) will energize and continue to operate until the temperature reaches 38°F.
2. If SCM must be turned off or left idle during periods when freezing is possible, one of the following must be done:

• a. Verify that sufficient glycol solution is present to protect against most extreme anticipate conditions
• b. — OR — Drain heat pump and external piping completely

To restart after shutdown

1. If unit was drained, refill.
2. Follow start up procedure from Section 8.
